Re: Data Structures wanted; apply within.

in reply to Data Structures wanted; apply within.

This reminds me of a quote, but -as it usually goes- I can't remember who said it, or even the exact wording. Basically, it was: "Show me your algorithms and I will need to ask about the data structure. Show me your data structures and I will know your algorithms."

Does anyone know the actual quote, and/or the author? Thanks
